The Rewards:
The Sawa Sawa Shirt
**if you would like to support this crowdfunder by pre-ordering this shirt today please head to the 'rewards' section. Select 'The Sawa Sawa Shirt' reward for £69 (RRP £79) and you will be able to input your size selection and address details**
The focus of this crowdfunder is to help us make this supply chain a reality by pre-ordering your shirt today.
The shirts will then be made in Kenya with the help of our incredible partners - from farm-to-fabric at Tosheka and then to the Soko Kenya factory. In pre-ordering your shirt you are playing a key role in making our dream a reality - proving that fashion can provide opportunity rather the perpetuate the poverty trap.
This shirt comes in sizes XS-L. It is an oversized pattern, so depending on the fit you like we would recommend sizing down from your usual size. If you'd like it to be oversized, for example a beach shirt-dress feel, then order your usual size. For reference, the models in the photos above are wearing a Medium for the baggy, relaxed fit.
The Tee
In addition to the shirt, we are having a very small number (100) of tees made too. These tees are unbleached cotton, a natural 'raw' colour, and will be delicately embroidered around the neckline with the phrase "This Changes Everything...". They are made of African rain-fed cotton and will also be made in our partner factory, Soko Kenya.
The Notebook
If you'd like to help contribute to our journey but aren't in need of any clothes right now, we are also creating a small (50) number of these lovely jute covered notebooks. The perfect place to jot down all your thoughts and ideas!
Delivery of your rewards: Please note, that as we will be relying on your support for the order of these garments, their delivery will happen after the Crowdfunder is complete. Our estimated date for completion of the garments is the end of June, with delivery in the first week of July (2 weeks after the end of our crowdfunding campaign).
